Belfort wasted no time in avenging his 2006 defeat to Henderson,
lifting the former two-division Pride champion off his feet with a
wicked uppercut and then sealing the deal with a violent head kick
that forced referee Dan Miragliotta to halt the light heavyweight
headliner just 77 seconds into round one.

Martins was also dominant in his undercard confrontation with
Cruickshank, dropping the American with a left hand in the first
round before locking up a fight-ending straight armbar in the
second stanza.

Though Perpetuo took an early advantage in his meeting with
Akhmedov, it was the debuting Dagestani who had the last laugh. The
undefeated middleweight recovered from a clash of heads and several
hard Perpetuo right hands to land a crushing two-punch combination
that relieved the Brazilian of his consciousness, earning Akhmedov
his 12th pro victory and his ninth consecutive first-round
stoppage.
